Aiken County Eyes Backing Anti-Illicit Immigration Bill S.20
Aiken County Councilwoman Kathy Rawls urges support for a state bill mirroring Arizona's immigration law. The measure lets officers verify status when there is reasonable suspicion a detained or arrested person is unlawfully in the U S. If confirmed, the agency may transfer the person to a federal facility. The council meets today at 7 p.m. in the county chambers to discuss S.20 and a noise-ordinance amendment.
